Central Alberta RCMP said they were investigating the killing of a woman in Red Deer on Wednesday, but released few other details.

At about 11:25 a.m., Mounties went to a home in the Anders neighbourhood of the city after receiving a 911 call, Const. Sabrina Grunow said.

Officers found a dead adult female inside the duplex and are currently investigating the case as a homicide, she said.

Another, distraught woman was taken out of the residence on a stretcher on Wednesday morning, the Red Deer Advocate reported.
